Todd Michael Wilson, 44, of Bayfield, Colorado, passed away in the Mercy Hospice House after a brief and intense struggle with colorectal cancer on Jan. 21, 2020.
Todd was born in Beaver Dam on June 14, 1975, to David and Lauren Wilson. In 1978, his family moved to Shawano, where Todd spent his growing years. He graduated from Shawano Community High School in 1993. He studied architecture at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
In 1997, he moved to Colorado to pursue life at Vallecito Lake. This quaint, close community drew him in, and he lived there for the next 25 years. He was involved in building many fine homes in the area as well as tending bar at a local restaurant. He enjoyed lending his services as a lighting technician to the Snowdown Follies for many years. Though a quiet man, Todd’s ability to have fun won him many friends. Even though he resided in Colorado, he always remained an avid Green Bay Packers fan.
He is survived by his parents, Lauren and David Wilson, Shawano; sisters, Jenny Maltbey and Julie Schroeder, both of Shawano, and Joanne Kelly, Flora Vista, New Mexico; many loving uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, cousins and countless special friends; and his faithful dog, Abby.
His family would like to express appreciation to the staff at Mercy Regional Medical Center, Four Corners Rehabilitation Center, and most expressly to the Mercy Hospice House for their care and compassion.
A celebration of life will take place at the Vallecito Community Center on Saturday, Feb. 8, 2020, at 11 a.m. Bring love and stories of your memories of Todd to share.
Todd M. Wilson
